The Washington Redskins may fire head coach Jay Gruden after the season. Multiple team employees revealed that Gruden is done with QB Robert Griffin III's spotlight-craving antics and shortcomings in the pocket. An unnamed Redskins official leaked a report that Griffin could start again this season, which lends credibility to the thought that owner Daniel Snyder and general manager Bruce Allen are still in Griffin's court. Gruden believes he needs a clean break from Griffin to focus on fixing Washington's 3-9 team. And if Snyder and Allen commit to Griffin as the starter in 2015, Gruden could be "one and done," a team official said.

Washington Redskins general manager Bruce Allen told media his team only has about $2 million in cap space available, which could lead to the exit of several players in order to create more salary cap breathing room.

Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III praised new head coach Jay Gruden and general manager Bruce Allen for putting the right people in the locker room in 2014. "What I think is going to help us most this year is that everybody in that building is going to be for us being successful and for us winning," Griffin said. "There are no ulterior motives. That will be great. Jay has been phenomenal. (General manager) Bruce Allen has done great job of getting the right guys in that locker room. I tip my hat to them. They have given us everything we need to be successful. We're going to work our butts off for them."

The reinstatement of Washington Redskins FS Tanard Jackson will not impact the team's plans at the NFL Draft, according to general manager Bruce Allen. "It won't affect the draft at all," Allen said. "When he was suspended, we understood he had to comply with a lot of rules and regulations. It's a compliment to him that he still has a desire to play."

The Washington Redskins plan to be aggressive in free agency this offseason, and they'll be roughly $30 million under the salary cap. "We'll have some room," general manager Bruce Allen said. "We're gonna have some room to do some things. But we have some players who are free agents, and we're going to talk to them first, to try to retain them. But we have the ability to maneuver around, and we'll be active in free agency."

Washington Redskins general manager Bruce Allen said he now has control over the team after the club fired head coach Mike Shanahan. Allen will also have more control over personnel decisions, but he will work with director of player personnel Scott Campbell and director of pro personnel Morocco Brown. "We are going to redefine some of the characteristics that we're looking for in players," Allen said. "Obviously when we have a new head coach there will be some schematic adjustments that we will make, but that power will be with me."
